Transmission electron micrograph of normal ependymal cells lining the lateral ventricle of an adult rabbit brain. V = ventricle, c = cilia, mv = microvilli, arrows = apical junctions between adjacent ependymocytes. The apical surface of each ependymocyte bears numerous motile cilia and shorter microvilli projecting into the ventricular lumen. (rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), adult lateral ventricle; Figure 7, full.)

Dynamic and interacting multiciliated and amyloid-beta uptake phenotypes of human choroid plexus epithelial cells (dCPECs) derived from H1 ESCs. Images are en face maximal projections showing multiciliated ependymal-type cells with beating cilia and choroid plexus morphology. (human (choroid plexus epithelial cells derived from H1 ESCs in vitro); Figure 2.)
